WETURNED®
For textile products made from recycled PET bottles.
With WETURNED®, you use material that already exists for your fabric. This is because WETURNED® is based on material from recycled PET bottles. The bottles are collected via our partner’s certified collection programme within a 50-kilometre zone along particularly polluted stretches of coastline in South-East Asia. Instead of ending up as waste, the bottles are cleaned, processed and turned into recycled PES fibres. These fibres are used to create new yarn for textile applications, which we then process into unique WETURNED® fabrics at our weaving mill.
With WETURNED®, you reduce the need for newly produced polyester made from fossil-based raw materials in your fabrics – whilst also giving your textiles a traceable recycling story.
Continuing to utilise existing raw materials.
Even after its initial use, PET remains a valuable raw material. Through collection and recycling, it can be turned back into material for textile applications. WETURNED® utilises precisely this principle. The recycled yarn used is based on previously used PET and replaces, for this proportion of the material, newly produced polyester made from fossil-based raw materials.
For our customers, this not only results in a tangible resource benefit, but also a product story that can be explained to consumers in a simple and transparent way.
PET bottles are turned into WETURNED® fabric.
We process the PES recycled yarn in our weaving mill to produce customised WETURNED® fabrics. We tailor the blend, weave, weight per unit area and width to the specific application and the requirements of the finished textile. You can find out more about the available qualities and areas of application on our product page for WETURNED® fabrics.

For consumers, it’s not just about the use of recycled materials. They’re also interested in where the materials come from and what has become of them. With WETURNED®, you can trace the journey from the certified collection programme, through recycled fibres and yarn, right to the textile we weave. This makes the use of materials transparent and gives our customers a concrete story to tell when promoting their product.
